Educational stories teach something by letting children live it inside the story rather than lecturing: how a sinkhole forms, how saffron is harvested, why a kite flies. On Kitapz the child asks questions alongside the hero, tries things, gets it wrong and finds the answer; their choices change the direction of the story.
Each story page includes, for parents and teachers, learning goals, a sourced fact box, 5W1H comprehension questions, discussion questions and a word list.
